TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, E. G. Budd, of Budd's Lake, in the county of Morris,and State of Nerv Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement inWater-Wheels, und I do'hereby declare that the following is n full,clear, and exact description of the construction und operation of thesame, referencebeingvhad to the annexed drawings, making u part-of thisspecification, in whioh Figure-1 is u perspective view. Figure 2, a.longitudinal elevation. L Figure 3, a. transvcrsosection- And to theletters of 'reference marked thereon. I

v The description of my invention is ns follows: A. A,-the frame; B, theslisftzC C C C, the supporting side of the wheel; D D D D, thequarter-Vor inner side; E E E, the inner rim; F, the inner adjustablewheel; G, the stm attached to the frame; H H H H, in'gs. 2 and 3, therevollvingleverage buckets 5" 1 I I-I, in iig. 2, the projecting leversattached to the buckets; J J J J, in g. 2, the `bolts binding ,thelsidesof the wheel, on which are rubber or gatta porch... coverings; k k 15k,iig.' 2, the pivotbolts connecting tbefbuokets toathe wheel, L, thespscebetvreensides C C C .C and D D D D, and the inner .rim E E E, for theleverage buckets to work in us the wheel revolves.

To enable others to make use of my invention, I will proceed to describeits construction und operation. The fame A. A, in working operation, canbe constructed as ull usual'frsmes for overshot or breast waterwheels.lThe shaft B extends through the breast of the `wheelvsnd -is boltedsecure to side C C C C, the moin support, to which D D-D D, the quarterside, and E E E, ,the inner rim, are stoutly secured thereby, forming aninner space for the adjustable wheel F, attached to arm G. III I, theprojecting levers Aattached to the buckets H H H E, und whichv pass'through-littlc apertures made in the inner rim E E E, so that thebuckets H H H II string by naturel laws toward the 'diameter on theupward `revolution of the wheel, and are thrown f Those bucketsreceiving water overshot gain, their leverage power.v I cover the hesvybolts J J J, correcting .the sides of the wheel, and which also supportsthe .leverage buckets in their horizontal position, with rubberorlgutta-percha' springs to ease the full' of thebuckets in theirrevolutions. The buckets H H-H H are hung out by 'these levers passingover the adjustable wheel F, iig. 3, at the point,`to gain the greatestdownward force. p

on the pivotbolts k k k k, adjoining in -the inner rim E E E. ThespscveL hetween-the'two sides und inner rim v v forms, also, overshot4momentary buckets.

The construction of this viator-wheel is .such that it cnn be made ofall cast iron, o r iron and wood, .or

castiron. The sides C C C C and D D DD'snd-inner rim E EE ma'y be ofall-castir'on, either united by bolts or in one costing, leavingnecessary space for buckets and levers outwards, an wheel and armllifithin. i

As claim, I desire to secure by Letters Patentother metal; can be usedovershot or breast; and on eppplieetio'n of water I gein a powerfulleverage power. I t (1n large constructions the'levernge buckets, withprojecting levers, can be increased in number and m'ade of' d space forthe adjustable.-

, The Wheel proper C C C C, D D D D, and EE E, and L, theleversgebuckets II H HH, with levers I I Y I I, the adjustable wheel F, with ermG, constructed substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
